  1. Managers, How do you deal with staff perception?

    Truth_be-told replied to Illmarinen's topic in General Nursing

    Do you step in and help the floor nurses when they are swamped or burned out? Are you asking them to do things that you know full well that you yourself are not capable of doing?? Do you take long...

  2. Should I work tomorrow?

    Truth_be-told replied to amyn87's topic in General Nursing

    The bottom feeding facility where I work is so horrible that they can't get any sane person to stay there. It is not uncommon for a new orientee to say they are 'going on their lunch breaks" the first...

  3. 'My Patient died' Facebook post

    Truth_be-told replied to miladaniels's topic in HIPAA Challenges

  4. How do you deal with personal attacks at work?

    Truth_be-told replied to NewRN'16's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  5. What's the nicest compliment you've gotten as a nurse?

    Truth_be-told replied to NurseNinja1990's topic in General Nursing

    I get them all the time. Just because I hate management people and the self anointed government geniuses that hyper regulate us and tie our hands does not affect my focus. The sick, injured, crippled,...

  6. What do you do on weekends off?

    Truth_be-told replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

    First thing I do is shut my cell phone off, so the lazy, slave driving management folks can't harass or threaten me to come in if the floor doesn't have coverage. It is my time to have a short break,...

  7. Protecting Your License: Notes from a Nurse-Attorney

    Truth_be-told replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

  8. Male Nurse Disgusted by Female Nurses

    Truth_be-told replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    You could not be more correct. If a female graduate in some male dominated profession was treated the way I was or have been trying to get a career, say law enforcement, I would be have been awarded...

    Truth_be-told replied to Aunt Slappy's topic in General Nursing

  10. How My Orientation is Going

    Truth_be-told replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    Such a pity that the health and well being of millions of human lives is left up to some greedy, for profit mechanism. Works like a charm for those who are not affected by it, really stinks for the...

    Truth_be-told replied to lexca's topic in General Nursing

  13. What is your opinion on calling in "sick"

    Truth_be-told replied to Goofaroo's topic in General Nursing

    Patient load, patient acuity, co workers, and the sadistic slave drivers in management who rule by threats and intimidation to make you do work that they know full well they are incapable of

    Truth_be-told replied to jeastridge's topic in General Nursing

  16. What do nurse managers and clinical directors actually do?

    Truth_be-told replied to poopylala's topic in Nurse Management

    What a joke this thread is. Lazy management slave drivers talking about how tired they are and how stressful their job is. Give me a break. Try working the floor 8-12 hours a day 40+ hours a week....

  17. I got a job!

    Truth_be-told replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    The truth was just told. I am giving this lady real advice. That is the way things are done everywhere i have worked for the last 20 years. If they sense they have you trapped, they will dump all the...

  18. Charting

    Truth_be-told replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    I just love medicare charting. It's like the government doesn't want to put out any money for sick, disabled, or dying people (yet they have no shortage of funds for warfare and death) so they make us...

    Truth_be-told replied to Ashley Hay, BSN, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I am thankful for my days off and the time spent off work with my friends Jack Daniels and Johnny Walker and Jim Beam who help me forget about work and preserve what is left of my

  20. Is this okay?

    Truth_be-told replied to NewcallRN's topic in General Nursing

    You work the floor, so you should expect this. We are rarely if ever treated with decency or respect. In fact, if you become too troublesome in having the audacity to ask to be treated fairly, someone...

  21. I got a job!

    Truth_be-told replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, if you let on that you would be homeless without a job, they will take advantage of your predicament and dump off all the BS on you because they know you can't quit. The last LTC facility I...

  22. Fired from my first RN job after only 2 weeks.

    Truth_be-told replied to Mountainrnbsn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Truth_be-told replied to TheRuralNurse's topic in General Nursing

  24. The Men in OB Debate: Help!

    Truth_be-told replied to jay_prn's topic in General Nursing

  25. What do nurse managers and clinical directors actually do?

    Truth_be-told replied to poopylala's topic in Nurse Management
